Celebrating the life of

Vincent Joseph King

Passed away on February 04, 2023

Tybee Island

Vincent Joseph King

Vincent Joseph King, Sr. passed away on February 4, 2023. He was 60 years old. He is survived by the love of his life, Angel and beloved children, Vinnie (Alli) and Jessica. Vince was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first grandchild, Phoebe. He is also survived by his mother Annette, and siblings Kathy, Teri and Michael. He had a special place in his heart for his sisters in law and brother in law, their spouses and all of his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Art King, Sr. and brother Artie.

Vince was larger than life. He met Angel at 18 years old, came to Tybee Island and never left. The island was part of his soul. He loved music, concerts and Tybee sunsets. You could always find him singing and dancing. He was in the restaurant industry his entire life. He loved so many of you like family. He loved the Braves and the Bulldogs. He loved people hard. He had so many friends, young and old. He loved being the life of the party and his connection to others brought him so much joy. Vince was anything but conventional and did not want a traditional funeral.

We will be having a celebration of life at Huc-a-Poos, one of his favorite places, on Friday February 10th at 3pm. In lieu of flowers please bring hugs, pictures and stories of our dad.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family

- Anderson, Wilmington Island, Ga

Angel and the entire King family, I’m broken hearted to hear about Vince’s passing. Vinnie was as real as they come, there was no pretentiousness whatsoever in him. Always had that BIG smile on his face every time we saw each other. I’ll always remember the good times we all had at the Tybee Island Sunday league softball games. He’ll truly be missed by all. Rest In Peace my friend.

- Maxwell Forehand, Rincon, Ga

- Barbara, Leo, and Allie Hayser, Tybee Island, Ga

Angel, Vinnie and Jessica. I was at a total loss for words when I heard this terrible news. One of the many things that can be said about Vince, was that he truly loved his family. We had some great times on the ballfields at Tybee. I laugh every time I think about Vince's first ski trip to Snowshoe. He hated every minute of the first few days of learning how to ski. But in true Vince fashion, he conquered the slopes and didn't want to leave. I will not cry for his passing but will relish the memories of him being in my life. Godspeed my friend.

- Perry A. Zittrauer, Savannah, GA
